Thank you, Patrick, for asking me if I could help. Tom has given you the basic things, though I am thinking of at least one thing that I can add. Will get to that later, but meantime, would you be comfortable telling us about yourself. For instance,what is your weight? What brand of diaper are you using now that is leaking?Do you use the same one for nighttime or do you not need one then? Perhaps the nurse at school has been instructed to check you out, which would explain her role in this. Is there anything else you would be willing to tell us about your wetting in class? Patrick, you don't have to answer these questions if you are not at ease to do so. We know how you feel and would like to help you in the best way possible. The one thing Tom did not particularly suggest is this. You and mom or dad shop some plastic pants. This should keep you from wetting your trousers, providing we can soak up the excess pee. Then there is a booster to help with this if needed. With a few more bits of information about you and what you are using, we may be able to find the best thing to do until the situation settles down for you. Heads up, you are doing the very best you can.
